    I compared this to my 2019 green K-Scope pressing and although the latter doesn't sound bad, I defnitely prefer this GOD pressing. Both have the same remix so it all comes down to the vinyl cut, which sounds more organic here to my ears. The drums sound more natural and punchy and the highs have a better balance here, which are bordering on being harsh on the 2019 pressing. The most obvious difference for me is the very pleasant, warm and rich bass guitar sound. Considering the album is spread across 3 sides instead of 4, like on the 2019 pressing, they really did a great job here!

    Packaging-wise this pressing is also the clear winner for me. Although it lacks the printed inner sleeves of the 2019 pressing and comes with polylined white inners instead, the gatefold is of very high quality: sturdy tip-on jacket, very likely a Stoughton sleeve.

    Finally I also compared the bonus tracks on side D with my 2011 first pressing of "Recordings" and once again I prefer this pressing here, with a very pleasant sound of the drums (that toms in Ambulance Chasing!) and the bass guitar. What a beautiful pressing, really one of the best PT pressings I've heard!

    [edit] I took a closer look at the runouts and holy cow...this is a Kevin Gray cut! Now it all makes sense to me, why this is so much more satisfying than the later version. Too bad this vinyl cut hasnt't been reissued and so few people can hear this!

      Absolutely perfect pressing to my ears, flat and dead quiet vinyl, extremely clear sound quality, highly recommended!
